If your household was damaged or you lost possessions or income from the storm, you are eligible to apply for the disaster benefits, which can be made available when an emergency or disaster causes the number of applications to significantly increase in a short time.

In addition to disaster-related expenses, eligibility is based on household income, resources and other circumstances. Food loss alone won’t qualify you for assistance. Current SNAP recipients are not eligible for D-SNAP, which is supervised by the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance and administered by local departments of social services.
